The leaders of the coup were his half-brothers, the Dukes Johan and Karl, who took power on 30 September. Johan would be elected king as Johan III in January 1569.&nbsp; During the rebellion Johan and Karl struck some rare Klippe coinage with the enlaced&nbsp; initials of the two brothers, I and C, on the obverse. </p><p><br /></p><p>Dukes Johan &amp; Karl&nbsp; 4 Mark Klippe 1568</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1291527[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1291528[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
